Well boys, I let the team down by not attempting to cross the border the first two games. But my Old Man has pulled through and offered to drive to the game Sunday, even if I get turned away. Wish me luck at the boarder; Contreras could use me. If I don't get in, I will at least be catching Charlotte @ Buffalo (Indians) and cheering hopefully for Fields and Owens.

Let's score on something other than Single-shot Homers!

I'm afraid that this will be another looooooooong day... however, I will not have to witness this game as I have a doubleheader today!

I love watching Halladay pitch. Today's will be a game that I simply sit back and enjoy. I just hope Contreras can match the Doc.

Watching another pitcher work over my team makes me sick. I wonder if he was doing the same to your Atlanta Braves would you be so gleeful watching them work you over. I hope we put up a 7 spot and he exits the game in the 2nd inning. You can watch him in awe next time.

I'll be watching on WGN today. The games have gone pretty well for the Sox when I am sitting behind the tube. So I am feeling good about today.

Watching Chad Durbin work my team over makes me sick. Watching the best in the game is a treat.

I dont understand this at all. I dont like watching any player work over the White Sox, whether they be a superstar or a scrub. While I respected Johan Santana and how awesome he was, I hated watching him pitch against the sox

Swisher chases a pitch a foot off the plate on 3-2.

2 up, 2 K for the horrible 1/2 Sox hitters. I hate that Ozzie doesn't have the guts to shake everything up.

No wonder Frank Thomas left.

The fans just put KKK on the outfield wall.

I just like the game of baseball. If my teams lose, they lose. I'm almost done with partisanship in baseball. That's why I mainly post in Diamond Club these days, and not even all that often anymore. Busy with life, and enjoying The Game.

Anybody want to take a shot at how many strikeouts Halladay throws today?

I'm guessing 12.

So, you're settling into lukewarm fandom then.

Jose appears to be pitching aggressively today so far, but I hope he isn't expecting actual offensive support.

I'll always root for the Sox and the Braves as teams I want to win but the game is greater than any team, and enjoying it without the stress of being a partisan is wonderful. Not that I have a problem with people who really love their teams or anything.

So, you'll be a sports observer more than a fan. I see...

I'm convinced that it doesn't matter who's on the mound, this team wouldn't score more than 3 runs against anyone. Bring on Jim Parque...he'd shut them down!
